This series of comics is being written by Aaron Williams, with artwork by Joseph Lacroix and coloring by Dave Stewart.
The official press blurb reads as follows:
<blue>"From the world and legends of Sanctuary, the setting for the award-winning Diablo video game, comes the tale of a hero's birth. Jacob has fled from his homelands in the north, hunted by his kinsmen for the crime of murder. Led by the visions of an ancient prophet, pursued by his childhood friend, Jacob finds his destiny in a desert cave at the foot of a mountain carved in two by the sword of an archangel-- Tyrael. But will Jacob be able to claim the sword that could save his people, if not the world, before he's brought to 'justice?'" </blue>
The story takes place during the twenty years between the end of D2 and the start of D3. The protagonist is a young man named [[Jacob]] who lives somewhere near the Mount Arreat Crater. As we know from the game lore, [[Tyrael]] used his sword to destroy the [[Worldstone]] in the concluding plot event of D2X, then vanished and has not been seen since. Tyrael’s sword did not vanish though. It remained in the mortal realm after Tyrael’s disappearance, and somehow sent visions into Jacob’s head, leading him to discover the weapon.
